Test Drives with the use of Testing and Measuring Devices

If testing equipment must be used during a road test, observe the following:


Distraction and testing equipment that is not secured properly can cause accidents.

The passenger airbag could pose a risk if it deploys in a collision.

• Operating testing equipment while driving causes it to shift position.

• There is an increased risk of injury due to unsecured testing equipment.

• Always secure testing equipment on the rear seat using a strap and have a second person in the rear seat to operate it.
